LSHTM and the USA

We have had a special relationship with the USA since its earliest beginnings; our main building was funded in the 1920s by the Rockefeller Foundation and one of our largest research funder is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We were also the first to be awarded the prestigious Gates Award for Global Health outside the USA in 2009, and also the first time the foundation honoured an organisation rather than a person.

Around 15% of our students come from the USA and most can be found today in senior positions in public health, including serving to protect the health of the American public at the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health; working as research scientists at major pharmaceutical and biotech companies; heading non-profit health and policy organisations; and teaching the next generation of health leaders at universities in the US and around the world. A number of our US students also work in international organisations such as the World Health Organization, the Global Fund, Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders. They all believe in our mission to improve health worldwide.
